Watford And Rickmansworth Railway
All photographs of this railway in date order.
![This stretch of track is part of what remained of the Watford to Rickmansworth (Church Street) line on 27th December 1975. The view is eastwards towards Croxley junction from an overbridge near Vicarage Road in Watford. The line was in sporadic use at the time for fuel oil deliveries to Croxley paper mill. The mill closed in 1980 and the trackbed now forms the Ebury Way. Early in its existence, there was a plan to connect this line to Edgware via Bushey and Elstree.<br><br>[Mark Dufton 27/12/1975]](/images/57000/57516.jpg "Watford")
![The last substantial section of the LNWR Watford to Rickmansworth branch to survive in traffic served John Dickinson's Croxley paper mill for the delivery of fuel oil. This view of the mill, taken on 26th December 1977, shows the sidings and transshipment facilities. Trains ran until the mill closed in December 1980, after which it was demolished for new housing.<br><br>[Mark Dufton 26/12/1977]](/images/31000/31975.jpg "Croxley Mill")
